[thelist] The future of XML

[Paul Backhouse]

Jay,
	no fear, you have nothing to worry about - it will never happen, you choose
whether you want to use XML or not, it may come more widely used but there
no way that anyone can stop the use of HTML and other languages, the sheer
thought would cause a mass protest.

cheers

paul

Subject: [thelist] The future of XML


Being a hand-coder for nearly 9 years, I have adapted my own coding
standards when
developing sites for our clients. I capitalize all of my HTML tags and their
attributes,
but the variables are lowercase.

First off, I want to say that I absolutely hate XML. A friend of mine just
told me that in
the next year or so, that XML will become the standard for web development
and that I will
not be able to code the way that I have become accustomed to. If this is the
case, then I
do not forsee myself being a web developer for much longer as I am not about
to adapt the
way I code to someone elses standards...

Has anyone else heard about this or is it just a rumor?
